    I have a 2010 Prius and noticed that the light bulbs (the 3 - 4 small ones on the headlight unit) are not working.

    How can I replace them? They are very small and in a row above the low and high beam. Do I have to replace the entire headlight?

    I all ready have replaced the 1 small bulb on the top - from the Drive Side. That was easy to replace. However, the other 3 or 4 small bulbs I have no idea how to replace and can't find anything in the manual about them.

    Thanks,

    Joe

    It would be cool if they were actual lights, but they're not. They are just a design aspect of the headlamp to "look" like lights.
    I asked the same Q last year, so now I pass the answer torch to you...... =)

    Was going to replace them with LEDs until I found I had to bake-off the lens to do the work. I just get a strip of LEDs and attached them under the housing... works for me.
